Breast Lump Treatment
A breast lump refers to any mass or swelling in the breast tissue. While most lumps are benign (non-cancerous), they can be caused by cysts, fibroadenomas, or infections. In some cases, lumps may indicate early signs of breast cancer, making early diagnosis essential. Breast lumps can affect women of all ages and, less commonly, men too.
Depending on the type and size of the lump, treatment may involve ultrasound, fine needle aspiration, core biopsy, or surgical excision. Benign lumps are often removed under local or general anesthesia in a short outpatient procedure.
Most patients recover within a few days. Mild tenderness, swelling, or bruising at the site is common. Stitches, if used, are typically removed within 7–10 days. Normal activities can usually be resumed within 48 hours.
With proper diagnosis and surgical technique, treatment of benign breast lumps is highly effective and typically curative. Suspicious or cancerous lumps are managed early, improving outcomes.
Evaluation and/or removal is recommended if:
The lump is growing or painful
You notice changes in breast shape or skin
There’s nipple discharge or dimpling
You have a family history of breast cancer
Peace of mind through accurate diagnosis
Early detection of potential malignancy
Cosmetic preservation with minimal scarring
Quick and safe outpatient care
Minor risks include swelling, bruising, infection, or scarring. Serious complications are rare when performed by experienced surgeons. Timely evaluation minimizes risk and improves outcomes.
